Robin Ciocca, DO

I am a surgeon specializing in multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. I also treat benign (noncancerous) breast conditions. As a breast cancer surgeon, I have a special interest in the care of women with inherited high risk of breast cancer. I also am focused on concerns of younger women with breast cancer and work closely with fertility specialists to offer fertility-sparing cancer care.
